    George Washington " Chairman of the Constitutional Convention"

    Gilbert Stuart Williamstown Portrait of George Washington.jpg

     

    "I wish the constitution, which is offered, had been made more perfect; but I sincerely believe it is the best that could be obtained at this time. And, as a constitutional door is opened for amendment hereafter, the adoption of it, under the present circumstances of the Union, is in my opinion desirable." -

     Letter to Patrick Henry, September 24, 1787

    Dime Novels helped to bring the West to life for many living back East in crowded cities.

    Dime Novels helped create many of the "Old West" Legends and myths we all know so well even today.

     

    Buntl;ine, Cody, Texas JackNed Buntline, "Buffalo Bill" Cody,
    "Texas jack" Omohundro.

    After traveling to San Francisco in 1869, Buntline realized he could easily adapt his stock adventure plots to a setting in the American West. At about the same time he met a handsome young scout and buffalo hunter named William Frederick Cody. Buntline claimed to have given Cody the nickname "Buffalo Bill," though Cody said he earned the name years before as a hunter for the railroads.
